FIAT 500L - Manual (Page 157)

To help increase occupants protection in the event
of certain side impact collisions, the car is equipped
with seat-mounted side airbags (for versions/
markets, where provided) and window airbag.
Seat-mounted side airbag
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These comprise two types of bags located in the
front seat backrests fig. 140 which protect the pelvis,
chest and shoulder area of the occupants in the
event of a side impact of medium/high severity.
Window bag
This comprises a "curtain" bag located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and rear doors
fig. 141 covered by special trims.
It is designed to protect the head of front and rear
occupants in the event of a side impact, thanks
to the wide cushion inflation surface.
The deployment of seat-mounted side airbags in the
event of side impacts of low severity is not required.
In the event of a side impact, the system provides
best protection if the passenger sits on the seat in a
correct position, thus allowing correct window
bag deployment.
IMPORTANT Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.
